MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER | |
 |
|
It is with great pleasure to welcome you to this webpage of the Rainforest Challenge (RFC). I am sure that by surfing this website, you are an adventurer at heart, with a love for the great outdoor lifestyle.
|
|
The RFC is an adventure event with competitive Special Stages (SS) along the way. It is a tough event for the serious 4x4 enthusiasts, who love the dream of taking on a jungle adventure with all its hardship, endurance and extremities. The sweat, the mud, the rain soaked jungle, the humidity, the insects, the creatures of the night, the fellowship of men/women, the teamwork, the camaraderie, swollen, muddy rivers and monsoon are all there for you to experience. On top of all these, you will also get to enjoy Malaysian hospitality.

|
If you wish to join us, please come with a good sense of humour and a positive mindset to enjoy everything that the jungle can throw at you. When it rains, it pours! And when the chips are down, when nothing seems to go right, you will need these qualities to go through the event. Being panicky and negative wont help, be cool. Remember that you are made of stronger stuff than you can ever imagine. By living out this adventure, we hope that you will discover or re-discover your sense of being.

| The jungle terrain is unlike any that you have ever faced before. Here, in only 2 kms of track, you will find numerous types of natural obstacles which would need hours to get through. Programmes and schedules are only guidelines once we start the ground operations. In the jungle, the tracks can change from easy to extreme hardcore within a day of heavy rain resulting in landslides, erosion and floods. Therefore, the constant changing of schedules are the norm and do not miss the daily briefings. Sometimes the overall good of the event to get going may not be to your liking, but remember that there are more than 400 participants in the 100-odd 4x4s in the convoy that we have to take care of. Just go along with the flow of happenings and you will enjoy the event. |
|
The motoring, lifestyle/leisure, off-road and adventure media from around the world are also attracted to the RFC, therefore, it is an excellent opportunity to be seen and heard while you are having the greatest time of your life.
|
|
The RFC is not for the faint-hearted nor for the uninitiated. Only those with a passion for adventure and who are in a full state of preparation in hardware and human software will be able to make it in the RFC. Are you one of us?

|
Life is an adventure. Live it to the full, don’t wait for tomorrow if you can make it today
